I don't really think it's going to affect anything, so just to reduce confusion a bit, I am the vote timing restrictor. I choose one person each night, and they only have 24 hours instead of 36 hours to place a vote.

Picked Clem the first night because I suspected him.

Picked PSV the second night because I was flailing a bit and I think she votes better when she doesn't have the opportunity to waffle. Wasn't sure how to get positive EV out of the ability and it seemed like the best shot.

I will personally be marking this as a victory for the universe. Chaos can reign above the subatomic level it seems, and perhaps we aren't all doomed to a deterministic dreary reality where everything is destiny and free will doesn't exist. Nothing makes any sense!
 
Okay, I have been informed that the PM with PSV was not posthumous, she opened it just before she got shot. Which is why she can't talk to me in it properly now, she can only make ghost noises

Summary of last day
 
Night 3

Ask not for whom the bell tolls...

London Lights GIF


There is something comforting about consistency. Day in, day out, the great bell of the striking clock in the heart of London was a reliable marker of the passage of time. For over a century and a half it had rung every hour. You could almost take it for granted. But when morning came, and that familiar sound was not heard, it felt like an omen. It felt like the end.

@Empire, who was Big Ben, an innocent child

Four players remained. It was now quite easy to pick out the two villagers. They were dazed, confused, rocked by the feeling that time had accelerated faster than their molecules, let alone their minds, could keep up with. Meanwhile, the wolves looked at them, amused expressions creeping across their faces. One, who had appeared at first glance to be a neurosurgeon with magical powers, upon closure inspection was actually wearing a pirate hat, and had a hook for a hand. He had a nervous tick, that seemed to intensify anytime a clock was nearby. Odd.

The other, ostensibly a writer with a lot of neat ideas about time travel, was revealed to be a clock herself. It's actually quite surprising these two managed to work together. But work together they had, and to deadly effect.

And so Captain Hook and Miss Minutes took the Rolex in hand, and used it to smash The Great Pumpkin into pieces, before throwing the watch in front of an oncoming bus. Time had officially run out.

@Truenamer, who was The Great Pumpkin (it's that time of year after all), a villager who each night could target someone, locking their vote 24 hours into the next day cycle
and
@JaggedJimmyJay, who was Rolex, a village watcher


Wolves win!
Congratulations @Santygrass and @Animal Midwife!

Before you pull out your pitchforks

I'd like to take a moment to apologize for the wolf-sided balance of the game. 12 players is basically the worst to try to balance, and in our attempt to bring the required misyeets for the 2-wolf pack down from 4 to 3, we uh...accidentally made it 2. I promise that was not intentional in any way, just a miscalculation. Since Zenge and I did the primary designing and I'm the more experienced of us two, I take full responsibility for the brokenness. Please bake all critiques into pumpkin pies and feel free to throw them at my face.

That being said, wolves still played a really great game, evidenced by the general village confusion the last two days. So, gg. And, from a game culture perspective, this has to have been one of the most fun and toxicity-free games I have witnessed in a while. I hope our new friends will stick around, I'd like to get to play with you guys! And I so hope you all had fun despite the game design wonkiness.

In conclusion, sorry village, game designing when you're also in a state of perpetual panic about your comprehensive exam is a bad idea. Numbers is villains. I hard claim Skill Issue.

Perhaps in a different universe we take care of AM, I claim watcher (I had lots of receipts), Empire is innocent childed, and we have the mechanics in place to take care of Santy.

Or if they’d tried to NK April and Santy had died with the bomb. Or if Samac hadn’t died N1 and been able to use her ability to keep someone alive/bring them back from the dead.

Lot of “what if’s”

yeah that's really annoying

not really a winnable game fmpov when you lose after 2 mistakes

wolves played fairly well of course but searching for a relatively small number in a large group with such a ridiculously thin margin for error is incredibly hard and it's frustrating to have the game slam the door shut on you well before you could even reasonably assume it was possible for that to happen

i think in a hypothetical world where we get AM and santy is alive in 3p it gets interesting

but oh well, c'est la vie, live and learn, move on
 
Hey @Empire, just wanted to say that you softed being an Innocent Child perfectly. I'm not sure if the wolves caught it but I was 95% sure that's what you were saying, and it helped me look for wolves in other places.
